use
A very experienced teacher would have the title Shihan . The level below the Shidoin is the Fuku Shidōin , which indicates an assistant teacher.
Different budō and associations have different requirements for the use of this salutation, but in general it refers to the 4th or 5th dan . However, these forms of address are often detached from the Dan grades and a lot more specific than the more general " Sensei " .
The salutations Fuku Shidōin, Shidōin and Shihan are roughly equivalent to the salutations Renshi , Kyoshi and Hanshi , which are often used in other Budō.
The Aikikai style of Aikido adopted this labeling system for teachers in the 1970s, around the time the International Aikido Federation was founded .
